Retired U.S. Sen. John C. Danforth says he’s not giving up in his quest to force the ouster of Missouri GOP chairman, John Hancock, whom Danforth blames for an alleged anti-Semitic “whispering campaign’’ that Danforth believes prompted state Auditor Tom Schweich to kill himself.
“I think (Hancock) should be repudiated by all Republicans,’’ Danforth said in a telephone interview late Thursday. The retired senator added that he was not calling for Hancock’s resignation, and instead wanted Hancock to be forced out.
